ITC’s course has brought Executive Protection training to a new level. This course, which is seven days long, features an equal amount of pro-active, active and re-active training. This course is held on site at our private 300 plus acre facility in Maryland.

ALL INCLUSIVE:

When you attend ITC’s Ultimate Executive Protection Camp everything is included. Since you will be training at all different times of the day and night, trainees will be required to stay at a designated location and all
accommodations, and we do mean all, are including in your course tuition. Things like training gear/wear, nutritious meals, E.P. manuals, hotel accommodations, and unlimited ammunition at the range. Since guns are a necessary evil in this profession we recommend that you bring your own handgun, but if need be will can supply one at no extra charge as long as we know prior to you attending the camp. We only allow 9mm, 40 and 45 calibers to be used at our ranges.

ADVANCE WORK

Preparation and planning are the keys to protecting you, your team members and your client. This is where through advance work comes in on all E.P. Details. The daily planning and securing of a principle and/or his family is based on how you secure all aspects of his daily activities and events. One must realize that a properly trained E.P. specialist must be detail oriented, thorough, precise, and most of all, adaptable. Addressing every detail no matter how big or small is the key to protecting your client and growing your reputation as one of the ‘best of the best’ in the protection industry!
Advance Work will be covered in the classroom as well as in the field. Tom Patire believes there is no substitution for hands-on training.

During your seven days with the ITC Staff you cover the following topics:

Initial Advance Surveys

Event Planning

Domestic and Foreign Travel

Hotel, Residence and Office Preparation

Immediate Advance (when time is not on your side)

PRINCIPLES OF PROTECTION

This section of the ITC Course is primarily comprised of specialized design methods and techniques that are used by the Protection Agents to provide a safety umbrella to the principal and/or his family members.
Having the knowledge of stationary positions and movement formations customized to make your client feel safe and secure in any environment, yet not be too overbearing, is what ITC teaches. All positioning and movements are taught from a pro-active, active and re-active mode in the event a client must be covered and evacuated safely from a hostile situation.

In order to make it as real as possible ITC trainees will be assigned to mock protective details using different actors and actresses throughout the course thus allowing practicality and unpredictability to play a part in real world training.

Topics such as:

Threat Analysis

Readability

Protective Formations

Cover and Evacuations

Command Posts

Protective Intelligence and much, much more will be
cover during you seven day stay at ITC.

CDT® SOFT-HANDED TACTICS

Through precise advance preparation and preplanning, the avoidance of a
physical confrontation can be dramatically decreased. However, if the
need arises and the situation develops, the Protection Agent must be
trained in the latest hands-on techniques that focus on Third Party Entry®. Knowing how and when to apply an escort, control tactic or a secure and maintain technique is a major part of training for any E.P. Agent. Statistics prove that in most use of force situations involving protection agent’s soft-handed force is the first type of physical force that is applied in most situations. CDT techniques encompass the three major factors that you must be conscious of when you use this type of force -
Personal Well-Being, Subject Safety and Full Circle Liability.

CDT was developed by Tom Patire for his protection agents that work under his licensed company - State of the Art Security Agency® - which has been in business since 1989 and is regarded as one of the top international E.P. companies in the world. Since the development of CDT it has become the number one soft-handed system in the world for security personnel of all types.

CDT is a trademarked and patented compliance method and disarming system used by not only E.P. Agents but also used by law enforcement agencies, branches of the military and different aspects of the private security industry.

CDT Techniques that will be cover during the seven day course:

Third Party Entry®

Third Party Removal

Secure & Maintain Position Escorts

Immediate Weapon Disarms

TACTICAL HANDGUN & SHOTGUN

In many instances the possession of a licensed firearm by a Protection
Agent is not required. However, when a threat is evident and
circumstances dictate the need for a firearm, a thoroughly trained
professional must be familiar with all types of weaponry. They must also be proficient and safety conscious with weapons, especially with the particular one he is licensed to carry.
This section of the course allows the trainee to familiarize himself with the various types of weapons that are available for a licensed Protection Agent. The trainee will be instructed through classroom and practical application on the range firing approximately 2,500 plus rounds in both handgun and shotgun during the seven day course.

The training will include:

Safe Weapon Handling

Stationary and Movement Engagement

Action Response Drills

Protection Detail Weapon Deployment

Basic and Advanced Tactical Timing Drills

Cover and Concealment Tactics

Tactical Shotgun

IMMEDIATE FIRST AID

It’s a known fact that your client will probably need some sort of low level first aid way before he needs your combative expertise, this part of the course consists of training in the latest methods of immediate first aid. The focus of the training will deal with pre-existing conditions, accidents, mishaps as well as potential life-altering situations.

This section of the course will include:

Medic First Aid

Adapted First Aid

Making Use of Your Environment

Critical Response Methods

EXECUTIVE PROTECTION LICENSING

In order to fully protect yourself as well as anyone that employees your protection services an Agent must be briefed on the laws as it pertains to being licensed in the field of Executive Protection.
